The  World’s  Genius  in  Weaving 

/£"^TRANGE  as  it  may  seem  to  those  unfamiliar  with  the  art 
of  weaving,  before  the  recent  development  of  the  Riley 
Diagonal-Strand  Looms,  every  fabric  ever  woven  on  a 
loom,  whether  by  power  or  by  hand,  was  composed  of  strands 
extending  in  but  two  directions. 

As  a  result,  every  loom-woven  fabric,  whether  of  silk,  cotton, 
wire  or  any  other  material,  had  been  restricted  since  the  earliest 
traces  of  civilized  man  to  the  limited  range  of  patterns  possible 
by  the  weaving  together  of  just  these  two  sets  of  strands,  com¬ 
monly  called  warps  and  wefts. 

The  efforts  of  countless  millions  of  weavers,  beginning  thousands 
of  years  before  the  Christian  era,  had  slowly  contributed  toward 
perfecting  the  present-day  high-speed  two-strand  type  of  loom. 

But  during  the  whole  history  of  civilization  they  all  had  con¬ 
tinued  their  work  within  the  narrow  limitations  of  two-strand 
weaving. 

It  remained  for  an  American,  an  inventor  of  international  repu¬ 
tation,  to  decide  he  would  break  down  all  the  barriers  and  bring 
about  a  complete  freedom  of  design,  a  freedom  perpetual  for  all 
mankind — in  this  oldest  and  probably  most  influential  industry 
in  history. 

The  complete  basic  patent  control  which  he  has  but  recently 
obtained  throughout  the  entire  world,  covering  the  weaving  of 
strands  extending  in  more  than  two  directions,  and  the  high¬ 
speed  automatic  looms  which  he  has  created,  form  a  fitting  testi¬ 
monial  of  his  genius,  his  determination — and  his  immeasurable 
success.

And  An  American  Corporation 

/  i|  ^HE  Metalace  Corporation  owns  the  right  of  weaving  multi- 
strand  grilles  and  all  the  multi-strand  designs,  throughout 
the  United  States,  by  virtue  of  its  exclusive  license  cover¬ 
ing  the  weaving  of  metal  under  the  entire  Riley  Loom  patent  de¬ 
velopment.  As  a  result,  all  metal  grilles  sold  in  the  United  States 
in  these  multi-strand  patterns  are  woven  exclusively  by  the 
Metalace  Corporation. 

Metalace  is  being  used  in  practically  all  of  the  prominent  build¬ 
ings  now  under  construction  throughout  this  country,  together 
with  a  rather  innumerable  number  of  private  residences  and 
homes  of  moderate  appointment  all  over  the  world. 

Metalace  has  now  become  the  accepted  standard  throughout  the 
industry  for  all  types  of  concealed  radiators  and  similar  heating 
units.  And,  it  is  fast  becoming  the  universal  standard  for  warm- 
air  registers  and  the  various  forms  of  wall-ventilation  openings. 

In  fact,  it  is  used  throughout  both  the  architectural  and  manufac¬ 
turing  fields,  wherever  grilles  of  inherent  beauty  are  required. 

It  is  our  earnest  desire,  wherever  information  or  service  on  our 
part  may  be  considered  of  value  or  assistance,  that  our  Service 
Department  be  called  on  without  hesitancy.

STEEL  OR  BRONZE 

All  Metalace  grilles,  whether  of  cold  rolled  steel  or  bronze,  are  woven  of 
high  temper,  special  analysis  stock  produced  exclusively  for  The  Metalace 
Corporation. 

SHIPPED  IN  ROLLS 

Metalace  is  shipped  in  rolls  twenty-five,  fifty  or  one  hundred  feet  long  (not 
painted  or  plated).  The  standard  width  is  thirty-six  inches.  Due  to  its 
patented  diagonal-strand  construction,  the  strands  in  Metalace  cannot 
become  displaced — and  it  unrolls  perfectly  flat,  showing  no  tendency  to  curl 
from  being  rolled. 

ALSO  CUT  TO  SIZE 

If  so  desired,  Metalace  can  be  furnished  cut  to  specified  sizes  and  shapes 
all  ready  for  installation. 

IMPORTANT 

Every  form  of  metal  must  be  thoroughly  cleaned  before  painting — other¬ 
wise  the  paint  will  peel.  Always  specify  that  all  metal  shall  be  thoroughly 
cleaned  with  gasoline  (or  equally  good  cleanser)  before  painting. 

In  specifying  or  in  ordering  Metalace,  always  state  clearly — Metalace 
Grille  No.  —  and  whether  steel  or  bronze  is  desired. 

SAMPLES 

Ask  your  local  dealer  for  samples  or  write  us  direct.

METAL  GRILLES  OF  INHERENT  BEAUTY 


T he  Revelation  in  Grilles 

All  Metalace  Grille  designs  are  basically  new  in 
the  art  of  weaving,  being  produced  under  the 
world-famous  patents  covering  the  Riley  Diagonal 
Strand  Looms. 

A  World-Wide  Reception 

Metalace  is  now  being  specified  and  used  in  the 
most  prominent  hotels,  apartments  and  public 
buildings  throughout  this  country  and  abroad — 
together  with  a  rather  innumerable  number  of 
private  residences  and  homes  of  moderate  appoint¬ 
ment. 

Immediate  Delivery 

Metalace  Grilles  are  carried  in  stock  ready  for 
immediate  delivery  by  building  supply,  hardware 
and  wire  dealers  throughout  the  country — thus 
eliminating  the  delays  so  often  experienced  in 
obtaining  cast  or  special  design  grilles. 

Inherent  Beauty 

Every  pattern  is  furnished  in  either  cold  rolled 
steel  or  bronze — and  of  flat  wire  curved  on  one 
side.  They  all  are  of  an  inherent  beauty  which 
blends  with  the  most  exacting  artistic  require¬ 
ments. 

Free  Air  Capacity 

The  high  percentage  of  free  air  capacity  in 
Metalace  is  readily  apparent. 

Of  Very  Moderate  Cost 

All  Metalace  Grilles  are  sold  at  prices  consistent 
with  high  speed,  automatic  loom  production. 

Rolls  of  Grille 

All  patterns  are  furnished,  unpainted,  in  long 
wide  rolls  which  can  be  readily  cut  up  into  any 
desired  size  and  shape  of  panels. 

Also  Cut  to  Size 

If  so  desired,  Metalace  is  furnished  cut  to  speci¬ 
fied  sizes  and  shapes  all  ready  for  installation. 

Easily  Installed 

When  used  on  wood  construction,  Metalace  is 
ordinarily  attached  with  staples  and  the  edges 
covered  with  moulding — and  when  on  metal  it  is 


spot-welded,  soldered,  brazed  or  clamped  in  posi¬ 
tion  according  to  usual  methods. 

Finishing 

Metalace  in  cold  rolled  steel  wire  is  very  beauti¬ 
ful  when  painted  or  lacquered.  Magnificent  results 
may  be  obtained  by  plating  in  copper,  bronze, 
brass,  nickel,  cadmium,  zinc,  silver  or  gold.  The 
various  patterns  when  woven  in  bronze  of  course 
require  no  further  treatment,  though  through 
oxidizing  they  acquire  an  antique  finish  of  an 
unusually  rich  appearance. 

Concealed  Radiators 

Grille  No.  10  has  already  become  the  standard 
everywhere  for  concealing  built-in  radiators — and 
it  is  standard  equipment  for  practically  every 
radiator  enclosure  manufacturer  throughout  the 
country. 

Ideating  and  Ventilating 

Metalace  has  proved  particularly  adapted  for 
warm  air  registers  and  the  many  forms  of  wall 
ventilation.  Its  genuine  woven  construction  is 
immediately  appreciated  wherever  installed. 

Screen  Door  Guards 

Unsightly  or  inappropriate  screen  doors  can 
ruin  an  entire  building’s  appearance.  Metalace  in 
its  various  flat  wire  designs  affords  the  opportunity 
for  really  beautiful  screen  door  guards.  Bronze 
grille  is  usually  preferable — and  the  Metalace 
Grille  number  should  always  be  specified. 

Unlimited  Uses 

Today,  Metalace  is  used  throughout  all  parts  of 
architectural  construction.  And  it  is  used  by  most 
widely  diversified  types  of  manufacturers.  In  fact, 
it  is  now  a  universal  necessity  wherever  genuine 
grille  of  intrinsic  beauty  is  appreciated. 

The  Architect’s  Opinion 

One  of  the  most  prominent  architects  recently 
said,  “Metalace  is  certainly  a  revelation  in  archi¬ 
tecture.  Heretofore,  every  architect  and  builder 
had  no  other  course  than  to  use  the  perforated 
sheet  metal  patterns,  or  else  specify  the  expensive 
cast  and  other  specially  ordered  grilles.  The  intro¬ 
duction  of  Metalace  has  revolutionized  the  whole 
grille  situation.” 


Metalace  Diagonal  Strand  Grilles  are  now  being  used  wherever  the  expensive 
types  of  cast  grilles  were  formerly  considered  necessary — and  where  per¬ 
forated,  stamped  and  other  sheet  metal  imitations  are  no  longer  considered. 

Specify  Metalace  For  . . .  Concealed  Radiators,  Warm  Air  Registers,  Wall 
Ventilation,  Window  Guards,  Interior  Partitions,  Screen  Door  Guards, 
Organ  Tone  Openings,  Door  Lanterns,  Cashiers’  Cages,  and  Beauty  Parlors.
